Sports gambling has advanced so rapidly...not that long ago you needed to find a bookie, or there were only certain places you could place a bet, and now not only is it available right at your fingertips over your phone, but there are nonstop ads for gambling everywhere you turn, in the stadium, on TV, online.
Did you all see that little dust up Bradley Beal got into with some fans? They were screaming at him not because the Wizards lost a game but because they lost their bets. Things could get ugly when some gambler is losing their house, their marriage, etc and blaming a player for it.
The casinos and apps must be taking a lot of people's money and ruining a lot of lives if they can afford all these ads and buy off all these state regulations. The MGM casino at National Harbor was the most expensive political campaign in Maryland history, dwarfing the governor's race. It's strange to me how wide gambling has gone with very little pushback.
